Hi,

I tried to get 1.4 running on my system (suse 9.3). I downloaded the sources and compiled them successfully. When I tried to start Amarok, I saw the spash screen and a KDE-copy-window and then the KDE crash-manager appeared.
launching from Konsole gave following output:
[shell]

I don\'t know what\'s going wrong but i\'m excited to see amarok 1.4

Thank you for helping me. experience amarok!

cheers roN

it seems that your sqlite is not compiled correctly.
reinstall it or get the amarok-svn, which should compile the sqlite

Thank you!

click on \"Download amaroK\" on the left side and you eventually will find it.
